What makes you happy? One of the interesting things mentioned in this book was happiness and the connection with money. Since, we would all like to have more money than we have (and I think my reasoning for having more money is legit since I would be able to help more people...), I found this interesting. I am sure that you have heard the saying before "Money can't buy happiness".
There was a 1500 person poll done to rate people's happiness levels. When their income increased from $50,000 to $100,000, there was no difference in happiness levels. The reason? "The more you have, the more you want."
If you have already bought the book to read, I would like you to read "The Rich but Poor Phenomenom" for in the book. This is an awesome finding. For those working in jobs to make the most money, spending every hour at work trying to get ahead. Here is a part from the book:
"In the struggle to meet deadlines, impress clients, and advance through the ranks, it's easy to become so focused on accomplishing specific tasks that we lose sight of how our actions impact our personal well-being,not to mention that of those around us. Many of us fall into a trap and work long hours because of a sense of responsibility to others, not being able to say no at work, or trying to provide 'only the best' for our family. We make choices with good intentions, but in the end they are not the best for our family,or ourselves. We get sucked into a way of life that doesn't fulfill us."
